Finnish WISPs Roam

Finnish WISPs Roam 11/11/2003 12:59 PM
From the beautifully named city of Espoo, Finland, comes the news that seven Finnish WISPs are roaming freely across their networks starting in 2004: The networks include the cities of Hamina (operated by Haminan Energia), Lahti (Suomen 4G), Mäntsälä (Mäntsälän Sähkö), Porvoo (Porvoon Energia), Rauma (Rauman Energia), Vaasa and the Leppävaara area in Espoo (Netsafir) as well as Vantaa (Vantaan Energia). Radionet is providing the roaming technology. Interestingly, TeliaSonera HomeRun, the largest trans-Scandinavian WISP, isn't part of this deal. HomeRun has extensive roaming agreements across Europe and elsewhere that require fees for their users when outside of the HomeRun network, but retain the single login, single bill convenience....

Where the Bins and the Benches Do Roam

Where the Bins and the Benches Do Roam 06/17/2005 07:12 PM
If you happen to go to Cambridge University you may see one of the new roaming trash bins or park benches. The six bins and six benches are solar-powered and are a £110K (~ $180K US) art project by London artists, Greyworld. The trash bins (although they do not accept trash) roam around an area of the campus and make rude noises, chuckle, or sing if they feel like it's a nice day for it. The benches also roam, but they do not sing. Each bin and bench has a different personality. Some bins like to snuggle up to certain benches while others do not. At certain times the bins may gather to sing a barbershop quartet song. The robots use GPS to help them navigate but do still get into a pickle now and then and have to be rescued. The robots also have an alarm to deter theives and screech if they are bothered. This definately sounds like fun and whimsical interactive robotic art!

Sprint PCS, AT&T Wireless Roam Airports

Sprint PCS, AT&T Wireless Roam Airports 04/19/2004 09:34 AM
With a handful of major and minor airports, the two cell carriers tiny portfolio will have bilateral roaming: This tiny deal represents airports as large as Denver and properties like Salt Lake City that aren't up and running yet, and shows the incremental and tedious steps taken to stitch together networks. The significant fact is that the two networks, which currently mostly resell Wayport locations, are willing to work directly together with bilateral roaming. It's part of a strategy: neither company could possibly have more than a few hundred monthly unlimited customers because it's cheaper to pay Wayport or Boingo Wireless for unlimited access to the subset of locations and then pay as you go on occasion in certain airports. AT&T Wireless charges the absurd price of $70 per month. Sprint PCS, however, is starting their build-out in a big way, and AT&T Wireless resells Cometa locations (though it doesn't list them in its Wi-Fi directory), which aren't yet part of Wayport's networks....

STSN and Sprint PCS Roam Lopsidedly; and
Whither Cell Companies' Wi-Fi Networks?

STSN and Sprint PCS Roam Lopsidedly; and
Whither Cell Companies' Wi-Fi Networks? 02/17/2004 05:02 PM
STSN and Sprint PCS will offer bilateral roaming on each other's Wi-Fi networks. The hitch? Sprint PCS has two locations, neatly avoided in this press release: I spoke to STSN last week about today's announcement, and while they want to position it as bilateral roaming, it's really a resale agreement from them to the carrier unless Sprint PCS follows through on the plan they spoke to me and other press about last July in which they had originally intended to build 1,300 of their own locations. So far, Sprint PCS has built two Wi-Fi hotspots that they own and operate. STSN has over 500 mostly hotel properties in North American, and nearly 200 in Europe that aren't covered in this agreement, with a worldwide total of 900 including a couple of hundred properties yet to be built out. I asked Michael Jones, the senior VP of sales at STSN, whether we would start seeing more of a clearinghouse approach in which networks linked through an intermediary fee settlement system instead of these one-at-a-time peering arrangements. He said, "We are very selective at choosing who we are peering with." Apparently, in testing, they're finding that some hotspots don't offer the consistency they want and haven't secured their systems in a way that STSN requires. Jones agrees that industry standards for hotspot operation would make it easier to move to a clearinghouse model. "There has to be some form of governance over those service-level requirements," he said. Meanwhile, Sprint PCS's failure to build out even a fraction of the locations that they predicted eight months ago seems to be an industry trend. Even though 2004 was finally supposed to be the year of the hotspots, we haven't heard boo from Cometa since they deployed 250 locations in Seattle (their first of many cities, they said, to get that kind of coverage), SBC (which predicted thousands of locations over a couple of years), T-Mobile (Kinko's, Borders, and Starbucks seems to still be their primary focus), or AT&T Wireless (a few airports and other deals, but mostly reselling Cometa and Wayport). Sprint PCS customers can roam to networks owned by Wayport, Airpath, Cometa, and Concourse. I spoke to a Verizon Wireless manager by accident a few weeks ago, and he said that the company doesn't plan to do more than resell service. Nextel has its own cards up its sleeves related to the licensed...

Get Your Own Sleep Room

Get Your Own Sleep Room 06/14/2004 03:33 AM
Some people take sleep very seriously. Not getting enough sleep is much more dangerous than most people realize, but it's become more common in our society for people to be chronically sleep deprived. The problem is apparently quite an issue in Japan, where Matsushita has developed a $30,000 sleep room system designed to help ease you into and out of sleep. The system includes an automatically adjusting bed, a TV showing soothing images, a sound system playing relaxing sounds and (my personal favorite) a bed designed to massage you gently into sleep. The system can be used for a cat nap or a full night's sleep. Either way, it appears that folks in Japan are quite excited about this sort of research - as an associated picture with the article shows Japanese office workers taking their naps in the company's showroom that demonstrates a number of recliners.

Micros copic fragments of plastic are a "major pollutant", floating in the ocean, settling on seabeds, and washing up onshore - with unknown consequences for marine ecosystems, according to a new study. "We've found this microscopic plastic material at all of the sites we've examined," [lead researcher] Dr Richard C Thompson [of University of Plymouth, UK] said. "Interestingly, the abundance is reasonably consistent. So, it suggests to us that the problem is really quite ubiquitous."

Ask anyone why they spend an inordinate amount of time at a certain Web site and typically the word "addictive" gets brandished about.
